It's San Jose's new look high street. Recently completed at a budget cost of €384,000 using Central Government money from PlanE, it was opened with a flourish in an official ceremony by the mayor and representatives from the Government.
Doesn't it look great with brand new benches, saplings and planters with olive trees and lavender. It's even got a parking lane for anyone wanting to nip into the new shops and offices constructed by a private developer (rumoured to be a relative of the last mayor)
The only problem is that over four years after the project started with the destruction of a perfectly good copse of pine trees, it still looks like an unfinished building site.
Old barriers, oil drums, rocks, debris and rubble litter the area and drain pipes poke out of the walls dripping liquid onto the floor. In a real country health and safety would have a field day, here, it'll be like this for at least another year.
